You can create and share lists of prayers using the Prayer List tool. Each Prayer List is made up of entries for individual prayers that you can track and schedule.
Note: You can use the web app to view prayer lists and mark prayers as done. But you need to use either the desktop or mobile apps to create prayer lists or schedule prayers.
Skip ahead to:
Create a Prayer List
- You can create a Prayer List by clicking the Documents icon
and selecting New > Prayer List. Prayer Lists you’ve already created are listed in the main pane of the Documents menu.
- Verbum will open a new Prayer List in a new tab or panel. Give your Prayer List a descriptive title by clicking in the title field and typing a name.
- You can create a new prayer entry by clicking Add prayer. Each prayer has:
